On Main Street with Aaron Wallace: An Unofficial Disney Fan Podcast

Mary Poppins Returns Deep Dive, Part One

podcast@aaronwallaceonline.com (Aaron Wallace) — Tue, 24 Aug 2021 04:01:00 +0000

As Walt Disney World debuts a new Mary Poppins Returns-themed restaurant, Aaron joins his close friends Albert Gutierrez and Jonathan Harvill for a DEEP dive into the 2018 movie musical starring Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel Miranda. Their conversation was recorded in early 2019 but is only debuting now.

In this, the first of a multi-part discussion, On Main Street shares general impressions of the film and considers some of its biggest criticisms. (The next episode will look closely at each of the movie's songs.)

podcast@aaronwallaceonline.com (Aaron Wallace) — Mon, 18 Jan 2021 17:55:40 +0000

Are The Muppets about to announce something big? Could it have something to do with Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and the Hall of Presidents at Magic Kingdom's Liberty Square?

#58: A "Live" WDW Trip Report, Part 2

podcast@aaronwallaceonline.com (Aaron Wallace) — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 04:27:00 +0000

Aaron continues the trip report from his WDW Spring Break vacation with his friend Courtney, but this time, things are a little different. Having realized just how chronologically inaccurate the first episode was, Aaron pulls the reigns in from Courtney and guides you through this part of the trip from inside the studio. There are lots of anecdotes and in-park audio along the way, however, including:

• A tourist's complaint at Hollywood Studios Guest Relations

• Ride-throughs on Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

• An over-eager tourist who's a little too happy to be meeting someone from England

• Audio of Aaron's first-ever ride on Tower of Terror (who screams more embarrassingly? Aaron, or the row of teen girls beside him?)

• Churro feedback for the Disney Dining folks

• And much, much more!

Once again, your host is new to the world of field recording, so the audio quality isn't always the best. Thank you for your patience! We'll get better with time!

Headphones are HIGHLY recommended!

Your host is new to the world of field recording, so the audio quality isn't always the best. Thank you for your patience! We'll get better with time!

Headphones are HIGHLY recommended!

#56: Something Wicked This Way Comes

podcast@aaronwallaceonline.com (Aaron Wallace) — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 06:04:00 +0000

Happy Halloween!

In this episode, Aaron returns to 2009's expanded and updated ZADDP Disney Villains Audio Montage. The montage has now been enhanced with a villains image gallery that plays alongside the audio piece! Basically, this is the long-awaited "cheat sheet" that was promised last Halloween and never came around until now!

Then, Aaron reviews a new Disney book: The Hassle-Free Walt Disney World Vacation 2011 by Steven M. Barrett. Find out how this book really sets itself apart from the others in ways that Disney fans will want to know about.

Finally, Aaron recommends a great and somewhat bizarre Disney Halloween movie that you probably haven't seen!
